To achieve this certificate, an OMISS member must work other OMISS members physically located in each of the call districts of the 50 US states as administered by the FCC, from 0 through 9. On OMISS net frequencies and net times.
The number in a call sign, such as KA9XXX for example, shall not determine the call district; the station’s physical location shall be the determining factor. One contact per call district is required for this award.
Mobile and portable stations may be worked more than once, but they must be worked in different call districts in order for them to count.
EXAMPLE #1: WR1TX has the number 1 in his call, but he resides in Texas , which is in the 5th call district. Therefore any contacts with WR1TX shall count for the 5th call district.
EXAMPLE #2: WR1TX is mobile in Wyoming . Wyoming is located in the 7th call district, so any contact in this situation would count for the 7th district.
SPECIAL NOTES:
1. All contacts must be made after January 1, 2006.
2. Portable identifiers are encouraged to be used, such as WR1TX/5, when an application is turned in as well as on the air.
3. Hawaii/KH0-9 may be used for the 6th District, and Alaska/KL0-9 may be used for the 7th District.
4. US territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam will not count for this award.
5. Please sort by call district number.
Certificate endorsements available include mixed band, single band, and 5-6-7-8 bands.
